This study confirmed that a rare dermatophyte infection in a young cat was caused by Arthroderma gypseum, identified using molecular analyses.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.

This study found that in Yogyakarta, dermatophytosis in cats is primarily caused by M. canis and characterized by symptoms such as alopecia, crust, and erythema.

In this study, topically applying 2% ketoconazole cream twice daily for 21 days was found effective in treating dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis in cats, showing approximately 85% improvement in skin lesions and the disappearance of the fungi.

This study observed a high prevalence of the dermatophyte M. canis in humans and pets in Egypt, particularly highlighting the potential for zoonotic transmission from dogs and cats to humans.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This case report describes a Dogo Argentino dog with M. nanum infection, likely from hunting wild boar, that responded well to itraconazole and topical miconazole treatment.

This study highlights that Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, primarily transmitted sexually among men who have sex with men, has established itself in Europe, necessitating awareness and surveillance to prevent its spread.

In this case report, Trichophyton rubrum was isolated from a dog with dermatophytosis, and treatment with ketoconazole shampoo and oral itraconazole led to complete healing and no recurrence in follow-up.

This study observed that 61.3% of helmets from online motorcycle taxi passengers in the Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta area were contaminated with dermatophyte fungi, with higher contamination risk in helmets used over five years or infrequently cleaned.

In this study, dermatophytosis was prevalent among 52% of dogs and 70% of cats with skin lesions, with younger animals facing higher infection risks; combined itraconazole, clotrimazole, supportive care, and vaccination led to the fastest recovery.

In this study, researchers found that 32.5% of stray cats in Bogor, Indonesia, tested positive for dermatophyte infections, specifically Microsporum canis, highlighting the potential zoonotic risk these cats pose.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

In this case report, an 8-year-old Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis showed significant clinical improvement after switching to posaconazole, chosen based on antifungal susceptibility testing, offering a promising treatment option for dogs unresponsive to standard antifungal therapies.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

In this study, a case of a Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis demonstrated marked clinical improvement and complete cure with Posaconazole, highlighting the potential of antifungal susceptibility testing to guide effective treatment in persistent infections unresponsive to standard therapies.

This study documented that dermatophytosis was highly prevalent in Basra's cats, particularly affecting males and cats under nine months, with lesions most frequent on ears, face, and abdomen.

In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.

This study observed that dermatophytosis, primarily caused by fungi like M. canis, is the most common fungal skin infection in cats, often resolving spontaneously except in young or immunocompromised animals.

This study highlights that dermatophytosis, a common fungal skin infection in cats, caused by Microsporum and Trichophyton species, typically resolves on its own but may be more severe in immunocompromised individuals and young animals.

In this case study, a 5-month-old cat with dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis showed resolution of skin symptoms and hair regrowth after receiving topical antifungal shampoo and systemic itraconazole treatment for two weeks.

In this study, veterinary examinations of 150 domestic canines and felines revealed that M. canis was the predominant dermatophyte, affecting 9 cats and 9 dogs, with dogs showing more severe lesions and higher neutrophil counts in the cytological analysis.

This review examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats, highlighting the role of Microsporum canis and the public health implications of zoophilic dermatophytes, affecting roughly 20-25% of the global population.

This study found that ozonated olive oil exhibited antifungal activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, comparable to the standard antifungal terbinafine, in an in vivo rat study, suggesting it may serve as an alternative treatment for dermatophytosis.

In a tropical, high-burden region, this study found that tinea corporis and tinea cruris were the most common types of dermatophytosis, particularly affecting female adults, and that treatment commonly involved griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream, with Trichophyton mentagrophytes as the prevalent pathogen.

This case report describes a three-month-old male Labrador pup with dermatophytosis, diagnosed through clinical signs and a Woods lamp test, which successfully recovered from the infection with a four-week treatment regimen involving topical and oral therapies.

In this study, dermatophytosis in cattle around Parbhani was found to have a prevalence of 17.2%, with Clove oil treatment showing the quickest recovery in 7 days.

This case report from Veterinary Clinical Complex, Kurumbapet, India, described a kitten with superficial dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum spp., which was successfully treated using itraconazole syrup, cetirizine, and a liver-supportive syrup, achieving complete recovery by the third week without adverse effects.

In this case report, a 2-month-old Chippiparai pup in Puducherry, India, successfully received treatment for concurrent scabies and dermatophytosis using ivermectin, a topical acaricide solution, a dewormer, and an herbal immunostimulant, with no signs of toxicity.

This study found that all healthy cats tested were carriers of *Microsporum canis*, and 86.66% of dogs carried this fungus, with further positive cultures for other dermatophytes and yeasts suggesting these animals may contribute to environmental fungal spread.
